Pro Bass 2.2

Pro Bass offers a comprehensive approach to learning the bass guitar, immersing students in practical musical contexts from the outset. The lessons are designed to equip bassists with a variety of tools, techniques, and tracks aimed at enhancing their playing skills.

Each lesson features a selection of bass lines accompanied by tablature and standard notation, audio demonstrations for each line, a background rhythm track for practice, and longer audio segments for applying the concepts to typical song structures, such as a 12-bar blues. Some lessons also provide video content that highlights specific bass techniques. The overarching philosophy of Pro Bass is to ensure that learners not only understand but also master the material through active engagement.

Features of Pro Bass include:

• Classic bass lines
• Diverse styles
• Melodic bass lines
• Scales and patterns
• Active scrolling tab
• Tab available in all keys
• Audio tracks in all keys
• Adjustable audio speed and looping functionality

The Pro Bass lesson store offers additional lessons as in-app purchases, including:

A bundle option for these lessons is also available at a discounted price.

In the free version of Pro Bass, users can acquire knowledge of four essential blues grooves: Shuffle Blues, Slow 12-8 Blues, Funk Blues, and Rock Blues. These bass lines can either be utilized within blues contexts or adapted to other musical genres to create supportive melodic foundations.
